PLUS DON'T MISS!

The National Garden Scheme

There are hundreds of private gardens to explore on the Great West Way not usually open to the public, hosting special open days, thanks to The National Garden Scheme. Visit unique gardens during special open days and as a paying visitor, along with the generosity of garden owners and volunteers, you will also be contributing to charity - an impressive £3 million contribution was donated by the scheme last year! Simply go to their website (ngs.org.uk) and search for your perfect garden to visit in the town or village of your choice.

The Hidden Gardens of Bath

Behind the honey-coloured stone facades of Bath's houses and hotels lie beautiful private gardens, rarely seen. With The Hidden Gardens of Bath guided tours, you can explore these hidden gems meeting their creative, passionate and hard-working owners before then sitting down to enjoy a quintessentially English afternoon tea!
